Tile lasts 50 years. Its underlayment doesn't.
Most 'tile roof problems' aren't tile problems at all — and knowing the difference saves homeowners tens of thousands.
Concrete and clay tile is the signature South Florida roof for good reason: it shrugs off UV, handles wind when properly attached, and can outlive its owner. But the waterproofing layer under the tile — the underlayment — has a service life of 20–25 years. When it ages out, water finds the nail holes and laps, and the leaks begin even though the roof looks perfect from the street.
That's why our most common tile job is the re-roof: lift the tile, install a modern two-ply or self-adhered underlayment system, and re-lay the existing tile or set new tile in foam or mechanical attachment per Miami-Dade approvals. We also install brand-new tile roofs — Eagle, Westlake Royal, and clay profiles including Spanish S and French (double-Roman) — and handle individual tile repairs, ridge and hip resets, and cracked-tile matching.
Every system we install carries Miami-Dade or Florida product approvals and is permitted and inspected to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Our own crews do the work, and you get a written line-item estimate within 24 hours.

The tile itself: 40–50+ years. The underlayment beneath it: typically 20–25. Replacing the underlayment at the right time lets you keep the same roof for half a century.
New tile installations generally run from the high-$20,000s up depending on size, pitch, and profile; underlayment re-roofs that reuse your tile cost meaningfully less. Your free written estimate itemizes everything.
Concrete costs less and comes in more profiles; clay holds its color longer and handles salt air beautifully. We'll show you both against your budget and neighborhood.
Yes — if the underlayment is still sound, individual tile repair is quick and inexpensive. We keep common profiles on hand and can source discontinued matches.
